Basics of Cockatiel Breeding

time between mating and egg laying

April, The female is probably guarding the kittens from the male, which upsets the male cat. He probably is a little jealous and wants all them to know who is boss.

don't know the type of wool you are speaking of, bu you need to identify what yarn type it is, ie double knit, 3 ply, chunky, etc.... and then you can just purchase wool that has the same ply and it should knit up the same as the Rico -just checked Rico its a super chunky its thicker than chunky which is 12-16 ply, so very thick. Ask for a wool that knits up on number 10 needles and is close to roving

yfwd = yarn forward - you bring the yarn to the front of the needles (between them), as for a purl stitch, rather than hold it behind the needles as in a knit stitch.
Sl1K means insert the needle into a stitch as if to knit it, but just move/slip it onto the other needle without knitting it.
If you type the abbreviations into your search engine box, it should bring up explanations and/or videos.

You are in the wrong section of Fixya. I can answer the bird question. When frightened or threatened many prey animals go silent to escape. Being unnoticed is a defense. You should be very careful with each footstep you take, so you will not step on it. Sometimes if you put the cage on the floor, the bird will see it better. But do not have oher pets, like cats or dogs around.

if the water is leaking out the head, unscrew the head and put thread tape on arm of shower were the male thread is and make it tight again, if the arm ... unscrew the arm and put thread tape on the male thread of the arm and screw into feamale thred that is an the wall. if not 1 of those are the problem , clarifi and all give u a solusion

Check the needle, make sure it is not in backwards. Groove in the needle to the front. If you are sewing on a knit you may need a ball point needle/needle for knits.

1. first of all try to be her friend. second thing if you like her tell her maybe she can like you back. and before try to make out first you should try to:

2. touch her hands or arms.
then her face and her hair.
and then o for the kiss. (when i say kiss it means on her lips)

3. and the last and the most important tip: NEVER ASK A GIRL TO GIVE YOU A KISS OR TO KISS HER. things can get more awkward. if you feel something for here dont be afraid. do the things i told you to do before the kiss and then do it. hope that this helps.
